Eduardo Colcenti Antunes (born 24 February 1992), known as Eduardo Sasha, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Internacional.

He made his professional debut for Internacional in 2010, and has won the Campeonato Gaúcho four times for the club. He spent 18 months on loan at Goiás, where he won the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B and the Campeonato Goiano.

Born in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul; due to his style of hair in his youth, and his brother already being nicknamed after Brazilian presenter Xuxa, he earned the sobriquet Sasha after her daughter Sasha Meneghel.

He began his career at hometown team Sport Club Internacional. On 10 September 2010, aged 18, he signed his first contract for a length of five years, with a release clause set at €40 million (R$ 87 million). Two days later, he made his debut in a goalless home draw against Goiás Esporte Clube for the year's Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, as a 62nd-minute substitute for Giuliano. He made one more appearance off the bench over the season, and was included in Inter's squad for the 2010 FIFA Club World Cup in the United Arab Emirates, but did not take to the field as his team came third.
